CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I had that problem with my pregnancy and it has continued after as well. There really isn't much you can do for it unfortunately. What helped me the most was putting heat on it and sitting on a pillow. Then when I slept I put a pillow between my legs.

My son lived on my sciatic nerve through my last two trimesters, and like singin4him said, it has continued even after my pregnancy, too. Heating pad....and sleeping with a pillow between my legs...yep! That's pretty well what I have had to do!

yup, i had that from about halfway through pregnancy with my daughter, and it's starting again now at only 11wks. I already had a few back problems though so I'm more susceptible i think. I couldn't/can't lie flat on my back, especially on hard surfaces (on the floor) or sit in one position for too long. Not much really helped, just watching my posture... I hope you don't get it though!

The pain you describe is very common. It's due to loose ligaments in the pelvis allowing the sciatic nerve to get trapped. It tends to happen more on the right side rather than left. It results in a pain which radiates from the sacroiliac joint, especially down the right leg.
I first got it when I was around 12 weeks in my first pregnancy and found it very depressing, thinking "this is it, I am going to be in pain for the rest of the pregnancy". However, it only lasted a few days, and is relieved by certain exercises, such as pelvic rocking.
